TO ADVERTISERS.
The Free Press Recognized Dy GeO. L.
Rowell a. Co., as Ahead as an
Advertising Medium.

The well known advertising agency Of
Geo. p. Rowell Il Co., of New York City, have
issued an annual Newspaper Directory for
thirty years or more, and these publications
have been generally recognized as authority
as to the matter of newspaper circulation.
In the regular issues Of the Directory they
have included all the newspapers published
In the United States and Canada. Quite
recently. however, they have issued con-
densed list II gives only tho best newspa-
pers as advertising mediums, and hence is
practically better, because more convenient
than their larger Directory. Four-ffths Of
the newspapers of the United States are
practically "counted out" by intelligent ad-
vertisers, who only want to know the best
Hence the value of the work under notices
The publishers in the preface well say:
1T sits the wheat from the chaf. 1t di-
rects the attention of an advertiser toward
papers which he should and ought to use,
and tends to intercept portion of that pa
tronage which goes to publications which
cost greatly in excess of any power to bene-
fit which they possess. 1t takes the general
ground, that the best is the cheapest"
We need scarcely say that on this plan,
the FREE PBEss is given by this book (see
page 1881 as the advertising medium of San
Marcos and Hays county, it being the only
one on the list. We respectfully invite the
attention of advertisers, both at home and
abroad, to this fact.

Excitement in Southwest Missouri.

CAIRO, Ill, Aug. 27.--Southwest-
ern Missouri is in frenzy of excite
ment over the railroad land question,
which lately has developed some
most remarkable features. Many
years ago man named Miller, living
in Bloodget, Mo-, purchased a large
plat of land from the Iron Mountain
railroad, which he occupied without
molestation for long period. For
some reason not known to the public
the railroad people endeavored in va
rious ways to rid themselves of Miller.
finally issuing an order of election.
MillS. vas induced at last to write to
President Cleveland, explaining fully
the circumstances by which be came
into possession of the property. An
answer was received in due time adj
vising Miller to retain possession OF
the lands at all hazards. stating fur
ther that by reason Of the failure Of
the railroad TO keep certain contracts
with the government they had for
feited all right to them and that the
entire tracts in possession Of the rail
road company were subject TO regis
tration and occupation by bona fide
settlers. the same as any government
lands. The news spread like prairie
FIRE and it is said that settlers are
rushing into Southwestern Missouri
squatting on the finest lands in the
State. There are thousands Of acres
OF laod under th;s settlement Of The
case which viii be taken possession

frequent suggestions that he reflected

An anti paper recently taunted the
great majority of Texas newspapers,
which are we'll known to have been
for prohibition, as in view of the re-
suit not refecting after all "the puE-
lie sentiment of the State" To
which in the FREE Press of the 25th
ult., we replied as follows:
They did not reflect the sentiment
of the horde of negroes and Mexicans
and other voters who cannot and do
not read. OF course not. They
could not supply brains and con-
science to the destitute.
This the Victoria Advocate quotes,
leaving out all the classes we named
but the negroes-a specimen OF garb-
ling and unfarness we should scarce
ly have expected in our high-toned
chivalrous contemporary, But he
goes on to intimate that we should
have still labored to benefit the ne
groes, as he learns we had done in the
past. In reply we will state we did that
thing, but found, in the discussion OF
the question of prohibition, as we
had done in the great kindred ques-
tion to which he alludes, that our
"best holt" was with intelligent,
honest, moral, white American citi-
zens. We are an advocate of the
rights of all mankind, but confess to
decided preference for those of our
own race, color and nationality; and
this preference is immensely height
ened after what we have seen during
the contest just closed. We envy
not the American citizen who can feel
anything but shame in majority SO
largely composed of these mongrel
elements we have named-ignorant
and, debased to the last degree-and
under the utter condemnation of one
half, and the "better half, of the
American people-the ladies-whose
votes are excluded in favor of this
mongrel mass of debased manhood,
and whose votes, if permitted, would
at once and forever have reversed
this moral monstrosity of q majority.
We trust the Advocate will now
our position.

The earth Is the Lords and the fullness
thereof,
Saith Gods most Holy Word;
The water hath fish, aud the land hath
flesh,
And tho air hath many bird,
And the soil Is teeming all DER the earth,
And the earth has numberless lands,
Yet millions of hands want acres
While millions OF acres want hands.
Sunlight and breezes, and gladsome flowers
Are over the earth spread wide,
And the good God gave these gifts TO men
To men who ON earth abide,
gloom,
And shockled with iron bands
While millions of hands want acres
And millions of acres want hands.
Never foot hath the poor man here
To plant with grain of corn
And never a plot where his child may Gull
Fresh flowers in the dewy morn.
The soil lies fallow--the weeds grow rank,
Yet idle the poor man stands
Oh ! millions of hands want acres,
And millions of acres want hands.
'Tis writ that Eye shall not muzzle the OK
That treadeth out the corn"
But behold! Ye shackle the poor mans
hands
That have all earth's burdens borne.
The land is the gift of a bounteous God,
And to labor His word commands
Yet millions of hands want acres,
And millions of acres want hands.
Who hath ordained that the few SHOULD
hoard
Their millions of useless gold,
And rob the earth of its fruits and flowers
While profi.less soil they holda
Who hath ordained that parchment scroll
Shall fence round miles of lands,
While millions of hands want acres
And millions of acres want hands
'Tis glaring lie on the face of day
This robbery of mems rights;
Ills lie that the Word of the Lord dis
owns,
'Tis curse that burns and blights,4
And twill burn and blight till the peopl
rise,
And swear, while they break their bands
That the hands shall henceforth have acres
And acres henceforth have hands.

Western Correspondence.
To the Free Press.

To the Free Press.
We left San Marcos on the morn
ing of the 23d Of August, and found
the rains which began the night OF
the 22d were pretty general from
San Marcos westward as far as Hondo
City. We reached the Alamo City
at 1890 q. m, and found we could
not get train for the west before
1870 next morning.
We found considerable amusement
that night in watching. from the
boarding house plaza, the Mexicans
arranging their booths and tables on
Military Plaza. They appear sud
denly after sunset, as if the disap-
pearance of that luminary were
magic signal calling them from the
innermost part of the earth, and
spreading quietly over the square,
set themselves busily to work, and in
d few minutes the sombre plaza as
sumes quite festive appearance
with myriads of lamps dotting the
black abyss like stars in an inky sky.
Presently distant band struck up n
discordant air that made up in per-
sistent repetition what it lacked In
harmony and variety. The usual
crowd of loafers and picturesque vag
rants took their lamplit suppers of
tamales and chilicon carne at the
various tables spread enticingly
around. How long they feasted we
know not, but when we sought our
apartment after IL o'clock the tables
still blazed under the lamps, and the
same motley crowd sauntered about
chattering and smoking cigarettes.
But next morning what change met
our vision in the grey, foggy air out
sidel We looked forth, not on lamp
lit tables, and Pickering shadows, and
groups of fantastic revelers, but on
wet and sloppy square, with yards
and yards of deal boards loaded with
crockery, each article containing its
share of rainwater, and each dingy
board presided over by its familiar
spirit bearing close semblance to
Mexican cuisipero, clad chiefly in
immense sombrero and slicIler, aud
having a general air of dampness and
melancholy.
We took a prosy street-car at the
door, it being the most convenient
and started for the Sunset
depot We stopped once and took
on board an old Mexican senora's en-
tire stock of vegetables with which
she evidently intended to stock the
city market Then our driver and
another tried TO drive over each
other. and as neither would give the
road they changed their mules TO the
reverse ends Of the cars, glOwered
at each other, then made
iii the passengers 'chADge cars in
the mud and rain, then our jebu me
indered leisurely on, stopping Oc-
sasionally TO speak to an aequaint-
lnce, and finally when cur patience

the depot. We resolved II ever it be-
came necessary for us to ride on o
street car again when we were in a
hurry we would hire a "burro" and o.
wheel-barrow.
We shook off the mud Of the quaint
old city from our wheels at SIS a.
IN, and as we moved out we saw that
all the bitches were running with
water, and for several miles in the
surburbs we saw gardens green from
irrigation. The rumor that the San
Antonio river was almost dry was a.
mis-statement. Several Of the main
springs were dry during the heated
season, but there were sufficient re-
naming to keep up the supply of the
city. We swept on at quite pace
for Texas train, and arrived at
Hondo City at 1880. This little city
of the plains looked quite fresh from
the late rains, and everywhere the
fragrant rain-lilies dotted the bare
ground. Their growth is little Pc
culiar; Immediately after shower
they put up couple Of green leaves
and a flower stalk, maybe in the
beaten road, often in close clusters in
fence corners, and out on the green
prairie. We spent several days with
friends here, and visited the artesian
well which the Southern Pacific rail
way company is sinking at this place.
They began with 6t inch bore. and
and are decreasing the size with the
depth. They have reached q depth
of over 700 feet, 80 feet Of which is
through the solid rock, and have not
found water yet. The machinery
applied to the work seems to us quite
superior, and they will continue
boring until they succeed in their
design OF securing an abundant wa
ter supply for railroad purposes.
We had the pleasure OF enlarging our
circle of friends by the addition Of
Mr.. W. N. Parks, county attorney
of Medina, and editor of that wide
awake little sheet, the Medina Co.,
News.
We left the goodly and pleasant
city(?) in a stout hack for our future
abiding place, some twenty-eight
miles above in the Hondo Canon. On
the road we noticed evidence OF q
recent electrical disturbance in the
valley of the main Hondo, in the rent
and shattered trunk of q huge old
oak. There were large billets split
from the trunk lying fifty yards from
the stump.
That the residents of this little
mountain circled valley are not quite
behind the times is proved by the
fact that they have Farmers ALI
ance working with membership Of
fifteen, seven of the number being
ladies. Some of them have taken
stock in the Southwest Texas Farm
ers' Association, established at San
Antonio for the purpose of building a
warehouse and stock yard for the
benefit of it's trading members.
We will teach school here for. the
ensuing term, and anticipate pleas
ant winters work with the one draw
back-we only have mail coming in
twice week.
Greeting to the Alliance at home,
and God speed!

Recently, at Lockhart, Monroe
Horner shot and mortally wounded
G. w. Lockhart with a shotgun. The
parties had no difficulty, but the
shooting was done while Horner was
crazy from drink. The affair trans
pired at saloon where the parties
had been drinking. Apropos, we
quote the following item from the
last issue of editor Bridges of the
Signal:
We don't believe any town in Texas
has a more gentlemanly set of saloon
men than Luling. We do not be-
lieve any of them would stoop-to do
q mean act.
We don't know any of the saloon
men of Lockhart or Luling. We
presume they are neither better nor
worse than their brethren generally.
We would simply ask MIR. Bridges ii
he really supposes any saloon man at
Luling would not have sold liquor to
the parties named above, and wheth-
er, in view of the results, it was not
"a mean act?" Please furnish the
public with your opinion on that
subject.
